It measures the extent to which two randomly selected non-identity elements of a group commute.

In the present paper, we use the derived group of a group as input and the degree equation as a tool to derive a scheme for the commutativity degree of groups of order which are essentially groups of order with , where is an even prime, , an odd prime such that ; and . With this, we have that p(G) = (|G/| + 3) /|G| as one of our results and discovered that 24 groups satisfy the restrictions given as outlined in our discussion in this paper.","PeriodicalId":484502,"journal":{"name":"African journal of mathematics and statistics studies","volume":"389 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140483008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data's time graphic showed the trend series' present state. For the analysis, E-view 12 statistical software was employed. Modeling employed both symmetric and asymmetric processes. Using both symmetric and asymmetric modeling techniques, the Multivariate Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (M-GARCH) model was developed. To estimate three models for multivariate GARCH, a constant conditional correlation, a diagonal VECH, and a diagonal BEKK. The conditional variance and conditional covariance were estimated using these models.

This strictness, however, limits the application of these probability models to a particular kind of data; hence, its minimal utility. In this paper, therefore, a new generalization for the logistic distribution termed the Jones generalized logistic distribution is proposed. This new distribution is conditionally symmetric; which entails that the distribution attains symmetricity, only at equal parameter combinations. By implication, the proposed distribution serves the dual purpose of modeling both symmetric and asymmetric outcomes. Some properties of the proposed model have been derived. Finally, JGLD were fit to two different lifetime data as a demonstration to its relevance.","PeriodicalId":484502,"journal":{"name":"African journal of mathematics and statistics studies","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135385523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a comparative study of two prominent models: The Gompertz and Logistic population growth models. The data for this study was obtained from the website of Our World in Data, OWID (https//www.ourworldindata.org). The Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) were employed to compare the performance of the models, and the number of iterations before convergence and convergence tolerance for each model was also put into consideration. The study revealed that the Gompertz population growth model provides a better fit compared to the logistic growth in modelling the cumulative covid-19 cases and cumulative covid-19-related deaths in Nigeria. From the models, we obtained important features of the pandemic, such as the growth rate and asymptotes.","PeriodicalId":484502,"journal":{"name":"African journal of mathematics and statistics studies","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136062313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In algebra, the existence of block design is closely related to balanced incomplete block design. To ascertain the claim, this research aim to employ some algebraic structures to examine whether or not balanced incomplete block design is related to the above statement. The methods adopted are finite group, ring and field algebra. The result shows that balanced incomplete block design (BIBD) cannot form a finite group under multiplication binary operation, but it is for additive case. It is also revealed that balanced incomplete block design is not a field algebra in both binary operations no matter the size of the design, but it is a ring in all cases. In conclusion, BIBD of the form (X,B) is a semigroup, commutative group, semiring, commutative ring and subfield in both binary operations. Several theorems with proofs have been established in harmony with the algebraic structure mentioned above.","PeriodicalId":484502,"journal":{"name":"African journal of mathematics and statistics studies","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136062197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
